Need help getting light swirls on black street glide
I have a 09 vivid black street glide and the paint looks flawless until the sun hits it just right and you can see light swirls. I was wondering if i could get some advice on removing the light swirls. I have a PC orbital buffer but never really used it but to apply wax. I would think the Pc would be too big even if you used 4" pads is there any way i could do it by hand? What products do i need to purchase that would work the best in my situation?
Thanks alot

Re: Need help getting light swirls on black street glide
I bought some blackfire polish and used a tangerine 3" hydro tech pad and used speed 5 on my porter cable da polisher. This is my first time polishing with it and im having problem with hazing. Its like a waxing film that wont come off I tried quick detailer and wax and still looks hazy. Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like you used to much product. The few times I've used it there was almost nothing to wipe off.
Also speed 5 is way too fast when you're using 3 inch pads. I would turn that down to 3.5 or 4.
Did you happen to buy any cyan pads?

Photo would greatly help
Did you happen to see any paint transfer (black paint) onto the pad you were using?
